I wouldn't worry about making a washing machine a requirement. There is bound to be an inexpensive laundromat fairly near any hotel you stay at.

Posts: 6Phachara Suites or. Anything?
Hi all,
Appreciate the time to read this.
I'm going to Thailand for the first time in late February for two weeks. I'd like a good quality hotel with nice rooms and I stumbled onto this site https://www.gfriendlyhotels.com/gues...otels-bangkok/#Nana_Soi_Cowboy which listed the Phachara Suites as their most booked guest friendly hotel.
I'm new to all of this so I really have no idea looking at where it's located if it's in a good location or not, even looking at the map it's hard to tell. It doesn't appear too far from the action areas, but I've read that sometimes girls can be very picky about how far away your hotel is from their bar if you're picking someone for ST.
I'm not necessarily looking for the best bargain in the world. I have the money to spend on a good place (although nobody wants to just throw money away). My main goals are a nice spacious room, guest friendly, washer and dryer so I can pack lighter, hopefully walking distance from the fun places. I'd appreciate any advice on whether or not I'm thinking about this properly.

Pros:
- short walk to Soi 4 through the alley.
- easy to get a tuk tuk nearby.
- quiet street.
- comfortable room and Hilton points at a low price.
Cons:
- still undergoing renovation. Make sure you get a renovated room. With Hilton status that shouldn't be an issue. I do think the pool is closed right now for renovation.
- Elevators are in plain sight of front desk. Not a big deal but I always feel awkward walking past everyone with my guests.
- No large bar. That said, the bartender when I was there last was great.
- not all taxi drivers know it yet. No big deal but you'll need to tell some of them soi 2 instead of the hotel name.
- not many outside food options immediately nearby. Again, no biggie but if that matters to you then it might be a drag.
I'll be in BKK next weekend and booked a balcony suite since I have enough Hilton points to cover it. I'll update again after my stay.

I would ordinarily have booked the Conrad, just for the status benefits, despite the reservations about its location. But in the end I found a killer deal for the Landmark. So it's back to my regular digs, at least for this upcoming trip. There are some good hotel deals to be had right now, perhaps virus-inspired.

Posts: 5Hyatt Regency Bangkok
Anybody tried this hotel? Its pretty new and I emailed them and they said they were guest friendly.
Just wanted to see if its worth staying there. Tired of the same old hotels all the time.

Being an Escort man, I guess you are not going to Nana Plaza much. I also don't go there much, but find coming from the opposite direction a little easier and don't use taxis in Soi 4.

Posts: 3040The Conrad and other Hotels in the Vicinity
I stayed at the Conrad one time during their grand soft opening promo period. It is a quality hotel. I remember their buffet breakfasts were varied and very good. My rooms was relatively large, modern and well appointed like many other competing hotels in it's class. But I was not fond of the location primarily because after midnight the neighborhood is dead as a doornail.
That's why I prefer the Intercontinental or the Grand Hyatt when I choose to stay in this neck of the woods. At least with those two you have Mixx and Spasso in really close proximity for late night entertainment especially Thurs thru Sat night. But except for the 24 hour McDonalds on the corner and a 24 hour grocery store nearby there is nowhere to go for a late supper. That said, the main reason I stay around Chit Lom for 4 or 5 nights every trip, beside the fact that I have hotels vouchers and points to apply for free nights, is to have ready access to Patpong.
From the Intercontinental or Grand Hyatt I can either take a taxi, if I am in a hurry, or walk to Ratchadamri BTS to go to Patpong or I can catch the Sukhumvit line at Chit Lom BTS to go to Nana. Returning from Patpong with a girl in a taxi is not a problem and takes no more than 7 or 8 minutes and 60 to 80 baht as long as you do not get into a waiting taxi on Silom or Surawong. Same Same for taking taxi from Patpong back to the Conrad. It is equally easy to do plus going to and from Nana from the Conrad is even easier. You could actually walk to Nana if you are not in a hurry, but catching the BTS from Phloen Chit station is your best bet. Then a taxi back from Nana to the Conrad with a girl is a straight shot and very fast. So again, my only gripe with the Conrad is its quiet, very quiet neighborhood after midnight and the lack of late night nearby restaurants and bars. If that is not a negative for you then you will like your stay at the Conrad.
Incidentally, a friend of mine always stays at the Athenee Hotel which is just up the block from the Conrad. That is a a very elegant hotel, but he has a long time girlfriend. They never go to Nana or Patpong and they usually are in bed early. HA HA.
